DescriptionCVE.org

Improper neutralization of special elements used in a template engine in the CDK generator in Amazon awslabs.dynamodb-mcp-server before 2.1.6 might allow a context-dependent actor to execute arbitrary code on the host that deploys the generated application via crafted table, index, or attribute names in a data model file.

AnalysisAI

Template injection in the AWS CDK generator component of Amazon's awslabs.dynamodb-mcp-server allows a context-dependent attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution on the host machine that processes and deploys the generated CDK application. The attack surface is the data model file: crafted DynamoDB table, index, or attribute names containing template engine directives are passed unsanitized through the CDK generator, with payload execution occurring at deploy time. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two specific conditions to be simultaneously satisfied: (1) the attacker must be able to place crafted content in a DynamoDB data model file that the target will process - this can be via direct repository write access, a compromised upstream dependency that generates model files, or social engineering; and (2) the targeted developer or CI pipeline must actively invoke the CDK generator on that file and proceed to deploy the generated artifact. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 accurately reflects several risk-tempering factors: AV:L constrains the attack to local file access on the deployment host, AT:P captures the required precondition (a malicious data model file must reach the developer's environment), and UI:A confirms that a human must actively trigger the CDK generation and deployment. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to awslabs.dynamodb-mcp-server 2.1.6 or later via pip: `pip install --upgrade awslabs.dynamodb-mcp-server`. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
